关于孔子美善关系思想及其现实意义的一点思考

Reflections on the Confucius' Thought of the Relation between Beauty and Kindness

孔子美善关系思想是一个充满矛盾对立的,多层次、多侧面的复杂体系,从文艺美学的角度看,有其积极的方面,也有其消极的方面。在时下关于“文艺精神价值取向”的讨论中,文艺与人、文艺与政治、文艺与道德、文艺与审美等等问题,再次成为了文艺批坪的热点,而对这些问题的理解和把握可以从孔子美善关系思想中获得一些经验和借鉴。

The Confucius' thought of the relation between beauty and kindness is a complex full of contradictions, multi - levels and multi - sides. In term of aesthetics, it has both a positive aspect and a negative aspect. In the current discussion of 'orientation of literary and artistic values', the arguments of literature and art and human, politics, morals and aesthetics have become the topics of literary and artistic critics. The Confucius' thought of the relation between beauty and kindness could be criterion for the discussion.
